I was speaking with a client about trust in a meeting the other day, and this
group of images came up. The story behind the images: The wedding of Hilary and
Jared took place at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota FL. It was a beautiful outdoor
wedding. All of the family pictures were out of the way and it was time for the
bride and groom images. Hilary and Jared wanted some shots on the beach, but
this very scary rain cloud was forming right over the top of us. Hilary was
visibly and understandably upset that this rain cloud would ruin her opportunity
to get sunset images on her wedding day. I purposed that we go and shoot
anyway. I explained that all we needed were five quick minutes to shoot; it would
take us longer to walk out on the beach than it would take for me to actually
shoot the images. I knew that if I could get out there and grab a few quick
shots it would all be worth it! Had Hilary and Jared not given me their trust,
we wouldn't have these beautifully unique pieces of art to look back on.
Trust is very important when working with your photographer. Not every
situation is going to be ideal or perfect, but when you have mutual respect and
trust, no rain cloud or unforeseen situation can keep you from capturing the
beauty of your moment.
